Many users confuse signing with sending. Signing often confirms a message or a transaction intent, while sending actually moves assets (or updates state). Scammers try to blur that line.
How to read prompts
- Look for exact targets (contract addresses) and values.
- Confirm network (chain ID) before approving anything.
- Never sign something you can’t explain in plain words.
Safer connection routine
Use bookmarks for verified sites, avoid random “connect” buttons in ads, and revoke permissions you no longer need. If the UI looks different from what you expect, stop.
Slow down
Taking 10 extra seconds to inspect a signing prompt often prevents irreversible mistakes.
